These planes form dihedral angles of 88.33 (7)° for A/B and 71.9 (2)° for B/C. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular interactions of the C - H⋯O type [C⋯O = 3.492 (5) Å]. © 2003 International Union of Crystallography Printed in Great Britain - all rights reserved.enCC0 1.0 Universal2-Acetyl­phenyl 5-methyl­thio­phene-2-carboxyl­ateArticle599136213631600-5368
